Yall I HATED and scrutinized the size of various parts of my body in every one of these photos at the time and if that doesn't tell you about societal standards and pressures, I don't know what will.

someone once told me, “only the people who care about you, can hear you when you're quiet” and that hit me hard.

Please give yourself a f*cking medal for surviving the sh*t that almost killed you. XO, Dr. Jen

People with anxiety often REWATCH the same TV shows because the predictability helps us REGULATE our nervous system. When we already know the outcome, there’s no risk of unexpected stressors. This reduces cognitive load and provides a sense of control, and safety. Familiar stories can be a calming in a world that is a LOT. What’s your GO-TO show? XO, Dr. Jen

Pretending to be okay feels more tiring than actually being sad. Because sadness is natural. Pretending is a performance. And performances are exhausting.

Stuck in a weird spiral wondering how different things would be if my dad was still alive.... Grief is so weird. It literally just comes out of nowhere and hits you like a truck some nights

I ACTUALLY JUST HEARD SOMEONE SAY, “MAYBE YOU DON’T NEED MORE TIME TO HEAL, MAYBE YOU NEED MORE EXPERIENCES THAT SHOW YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM A DIFFERENT REALITY,” AND NGL… IT ECHOED IN ME

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

from the bottom of my heart, i just want life to get better. I'm so tired.

[🦋 @leftunsents]

no one talks about how draining it is when your mood constantly switches between "keep going, it will get better" and "i can't do this anymore, im about to give up." it's like living in emotional whiplash. one hour you're hopeful, the next you're spiraling

i said, "leave," but all i really want is you to stand outside my window throwin' pebbles screaming, "i'm in love with you"

Don’t avoid screen as night if you have trauma or nighttime anxiety. Screens can distract you from your thoughts and be a way of self soothing. Without them, it can be harder to actually fall asleep.

may you attract someone who treats you like they’ve been waiting their whole life to find you

Adjusting to the new person you have become due to grief or extreme trauma can take years and you are typically very fragile within those years too. Have to constantly remind yourself and give yourself grace about the process
